The Limiting Condition for Tayammum for One in a State of Major Ritual Impurity on a Cold Night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe, Your Eminence the Shaykh, what is the limit for the permissibility of tayammum for a person in a state of major ritual impurity on a cold night?
The Shaykh:
The danger. If there is danger and hardship, he performs tayammum and does not take a full ritual bath unless he finds a warm place and warm water. Yes.
The questioner:
For example, Your Eminence the Shaykh, if a person has cold water and heats it up, but the time passes, does he perform tayammum?
The Shaykh:
No, he does not let the time pass. Heating it is easy; heating it takes five minutes, or if it warms up in ten minutes, if he finds someone to heat it for him, there is nothing wrong with it. He is required to heat it and take a full ritual bath. But if he finds nothing and fears for his life, praise be to Allah, he prays with tayammum.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
